I read once, long ago in some astronomy book, the our Moon, though presently getting farther away, slowly, will at some point begin an inward spiral that will inevitably get to the point of tearing apart through gravity and Earth will have a set of rings!..........................
The Moon's on the way out -- but if there's sufficient energy left in the Earth's rotation, and the tidal transfer of momentum is effective over the greater distance, the period when the Moon begins escape will lead to some very trying times here on the good Earth.
